Darrell Taylor: Breaking News
Released to make room for Reed
Taylor was released by the Texans on Monday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports. Taylor is being released less than a week after being activated from injured reserve. This move paves the way for the Texans to activate safety Jaylen Reed (forearm) from injured reserve ahead of Monday's wild-card game at Pittsburgh.
Activated from IR
The Texans activated Taylor (ankle) to the 53-man roster from injured reserve Tuesday. Taylor resumed practicing in full mid-December, so it appears he'll be ready to contribute during Monday's wild-card round matchup against the Steelers. Expect the defensive end to handle a depth role on defense and also take snaps on special teams.
